! Windows 7 Sucks
How much do you charging to suck my cock? Can your daughter do it cheaply for me? Please reply soon. Microsoft Rippoff wrote: Windows 7 is the new Windows ME. IE9 sucks really bad too.

On 11/29/2011, SC Tom posted:
Firefox has one big advantage. It has a *selectable* default folder for internet downloaded images. So does IE9 and IE8. Not that hard to do; don't know how easy it is for Firefox. Easier than for IE9. Since IE9 is pretty easy, you can tell that it isn't hard for FF. Without even looking at Help, it took me 30 seconds, because at first I looked in the wrong place :-) Like I said, I haven't used FF in forever, and didn't have installed long enough to search for things like that. IE9, I looked up how to do it after my first download. IE8 wasn't quite as simple, but still wasn't hard to do (as I'm sure you know :-) ). For me the difference is that in Firefox, the setting is where you might expect it to be, whereas in Internet Explorer 9, it's in some out-of-the-way place. So in FF, I found it just by looking, but in IE9 I had to find it by using Help. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |

[] This argument was beaten to death on a Linux group (very few mfrs provide drivers for Linux). The real issue is lack of standards. We're well past the time that printers should be plug'n'play, and I don't mean that the OS installs a driver when you plug in the printer. It's bizarre that one needs different drivers for different printers made by the same manufacturer. Etc. Wolf K. |

The only drives that were native in OS/2 were Matsu****a and a couple of others, and even though they own Panasonic now, they either didn't then or the two drives weren't close enough for the Matsu****a drivers to work with my drive. I tried OS/2 with Windows 3.1 (upgrade) thinking that might solve the problem, but no joy there either. Another bad point was that I had an IBM Big Blue thermal printer, and I couldn't get either version of OS/2 to recognize it either. IBM OS won't print to an INM printer? What's up with that? After a couple on months of searching and using it (it was stable and speedy. No wonder; it had no drivers taking up memory), I finally went back to Windows. I've tinkered with other OSes over the years, but have never left Windows for good. Works fine for me. If there's something about it I don't like (and believe me, there's plenty), I can usually figure out a workaround or find a third party app to get 'er done. -- SC Tom |

Someone else was the video expert writing drivers for a few video cards; this was before the card manufacturers provided drivers. I suggested to an appropriate person that IBM should be supporting some other video cards ('twas a long time ago, so I've forgotten the details). The reply was "We're not in the business of providing drivers for non-IBM cards". I said no more... And OS/2 has evaporated. BTW, I did get to see a demo of some media-like software running under that system; IIRC, it was really beautiful. -- Gene E. Bloch (Stumbling Bloch) |
